The city of Incheon, which declared an end to the use of the Seoul Metropolitan Area Landfill in 2025, announced its own landfill and a candidate site for a new incinerator.

We advertise three sites, Yeongheung-do, Ongjin-gun, as a landfill, and Jung-gu and Namdong-gu, Incheon as a large-area incinerator. It is noteworthy how to persuade local residents who are rebelling right now.

Today, were there advertisements for candidate sites for landfills and incinerators?

[기자]

Yes, Incheon Mayor Park Nam-chun held a press conference at City Hall this morning and announced the candidate site for Incheon Eco Land, a provisional named landfill.

The site for the self-reclaimed site is 148,000m2 in Oe-ri, Yeongheung-myeon, Ongjin-gun.

Unlike conventional landfills, the plan is to bury the ashes from incineration at a depth of 30 to 40 meters underground and install a sealed air dome on top to prevent the dust from escaping.

Three candidates have also been announced for the Resource Circulation Center, an incinerator that will pre-treat the waste that will be buried in this landfill.

These are Sinheung-dong, Jung-gu, Gojan-dong, Namdong-gu, and Yongjeong-ri, Ganghwa-gun.

No candidate site has been decided for the center to be used by Bupyeong-gu and Gyeyang-gu.

When all are confirmed, there will be 7 incinerators in Incheon, combining the existing incinerators in Cheongna and Songdo.

Why did the City of Incheon announce its own landfill and incinerator candidates?

[기자]

Yes. The Seoul Metropolitan Area landfill in Seo-gu, Incheon, is directly dumping various types of garbage from Seoul and Incheon, Gyeonggi province.

Although the use was already planned to end in 2015, the government and three regional bodies once extended the post-garbage use in the metropolitan area, but according to the principle of disposal of the waste generation area, each regional body promotes building its own landfill and incinerator. Agreed.

In response, Incheon City suspects that even though in 2025 when the landfill is saturated, Seoul and Gyeonggi Province are not making their own efforts to solve it, they are trying to extend the Seo-gu metropolitan landfill.

Consequently, the City of Incheon plans to build its own new landfill in preparation for the end of the metropolitan area’s landfill use in 2025, as well as to build several resource recycling centers, or incineration plants, which drastically reduce the amount of landfill. direct.

The City of Incheon expresses this plan as the so-called Waste Declaration of Independence.

[앵커]

First, a backlash is expected from residents of the region.

[기자]

Residents of Yeongheung-myeon, announced as a candidate site for their own landfill, were an encouraging opposition in front of Incheon City Hall during the press conference.

Residents, who even had a shaving ceremony, said they would stop entering a landfill, saying they are suffering from coal-fired power plants.

Furthermore, since the candidates for the large-area incineration plant are announced today, local residents are expected to protest in the future.

The City of Incheon announced that it will establish a comprehensive development plan, saying it will make the landfill a representative ‘Ecological Treasure Island’ in the metropolitan area.

We suggest several supportive measures, saying that the incinerator will also be comfortably decorated with state-of-the-art, non-harmful facilities.

Furthermore, it is a plan to reasonably persuade through debate when proposing the formation of a resident delegation. However, even if it is environmentally friendly, it is expected that the reaction of residents will not easily diminish as facilities that have been essentially branded as evasion facilities are built.
